Programming Forums - Problem passing multi-dimensional array to function

Hello, I receive the following error when compiling my program.

p8.c: In function `main':
p8.c:20: warning: passing arg 2 of `CountCharacter' from incompatible pointer type

I can see the problem is that I'm not passing the type of data I think I am. I basically want to pass a command line argument which is a filename to my function.

My understanding is that when I call CountCharacter(TargetChar, argv[i]), argv[i] is the address of where the filename string begins. Please help me out.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>



int CountCharacter(char, char []);



int main(int argc, char *argv[])

        {

        char TargetChar;

        int i;



        if(argc < 2 || strlen(argv[1]) != 1)

                {

                printf("Usage: %s character [file1]...\n", argv[0]);

                exit(1);

                }



        TargetChar = argv[1][0];



        if(argc == 2)

                printf("File: %s  Character: %c  Number: %d\n", "stdin", TargetChar, CountCharacter(TargetChar, stdin));

        else

                {

                for(i = 2; i < argc; i++)

                        printf("File: %s  Character: %c  Number: %d\n", argv[i], TargetChar, CountCharacter(TargetChar, argv[i]));

                }



        return 0;

        }



int CountCharacter(char TargetChar, char file[])

        {

        FILE *fp;

        int Num = 0, Ch;



        if(strcmp(file, "stdin"))

                if((fp = fopen(file, "r")) == NULL)

                        {

                        printf("Can't open file %s for read\n", file);

                        return -1;

                        }



        while((Ch = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)

                {

                if(Ch == TargetChar)

                        Num++;

                }



        if(fclose(fp) != 0)

                printf("Error closing file %s\n", file);



        return Num;

        }
